Thanks for the reply. I am still in the early phase, I will let you know
if any changes are needed for the APIs.

We might also have to implement throttle-group.c for 9p devices, if we want
to
apply throttle for group of devices.

I just want some one from virtio-9p side to jump in to the discussion
as well. That will help me a lot to understand from virtio-9p perspective.
